Only the will and dedication of the people will resolve the internal conflicts in a country and foreign military intervention to an internal conflict is not a solution, President Mahinda Rajapakse said on July 1, according to Colombo Page. Addressing the Ukrainian National Defence Academy during his official visit to Ukraine, President Rajapakse pointed out, "Foreign military intervention to an internal conflict is not a solution.

A special meeting of the Sri Lankan Cabinet, chaired by President Mahinda Rajapakse, held at Kilinochchi town in the Northern Province approved an emergency loan of USD 150 million from Asian Development Bank (ADB) for re-construction of the damaged power and water infrastructure in the Northern and Eastern provinces, reports The Hindu. Briefing the media on July 15 on the decisions taken by the meeting Cabinet spokesperson Keheliya Rambukwella said the loan from the ADB would be provided to the Electricity Board and the National Water Supply and Drainage Board for reconstruction of the damaged assets in the Northern Province. Rambukwella said the Cabinet had approved the proposal to reconstruct the 50-kilometres-long A-34 high way from Mankulam to Mullaitivu Road under the Northern Road Connectivity Project with ADB assistance. A National Mine Action Centre to coordinate removal of an estimated 1.5 million mines buried in 3,000 square kilometres of the Northern Province would be created. Rambukwella said the presence of mines was a major stumbling block in re-settlement of the war displaced and the Government has so far been able to remove only 20 per cent of the mines. Explaining the decision to hold a Cabinet meeting in Kilinochchi, Rambukwella said it was a signal of the unity of the island nation and the comprehensive military defeat of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). Kilinochchi, the de facto capital of the LTTE till May 2009, was chosen as the first town for the Cabinet meetings to be held outside the national capital periodically.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) announced that it has revoked the charitable registration of Ottawa-area charity, Tamil (Sri Lanka) Refugee-Aid Society (TRAS) effective from July 17, reports Colombo Page. The agency has issued a notice in June of its intention to revoke the charitable registration of the Society saying that on the basis of an audit conducted, it has concluded that the Society has ceased to comply with the requirements of the Income Tax Act for its continued registration. The CRA stated that in that the charity failed to maintain adequate control and direction over the use of its funds; improperly issued tax receipts on behalf of third parties; and provided funding to non-qualified donees outside Canada. According to the findings, the Tamil charity has provided funds including $713,000 to an organization, which the CRA believes was operating as part of the support network for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a listed entity under the United Nations Suppression of Terrorism Regulations and the Criminal Code of Canada. The CRA said its audit also indicated that fundraising conducted under the Society's auspices involved an individual who has been convicted in the United States of conspiring to provide material support to the LTTE. In addition, the Society's liaison officer for Sri Lanka was named in documents filed with the Federal Court of Canada as a contact for area sales coordinators with the World Tamil Movement, also a listed entity under the Criminal Code of Canada because of its ties to the LTTE.

Observer report on July 18 that Sri Lankan authorities have initiated fresh moves with the assistance of Sunday International Police (]nterpol) and other intelligence agencies abroad to break the `backbone’ of the LTTE international terror network which is believed to be still active in certain countries. Interpol has already issued red notices on two hardcore LTTE terrorists. The Interpol action is based on the secret documents which were recovered from the LTTE’s international link spot known as ‘Castro’ office in the Wanni by Sri Lankan authorities recently. The two prime LTTE hardcore terrorists who were issued with red notices by Interpol are Ponniah Anandarajah alias Rajah alias Ayyah of the USA. Rajah is 60 years and hails from Chankanai, Jaffna. He had been the head of the LTTE financial procurement and shipping network since 2003. He holds a US passport and has travelled extensively to negotiate the purchase of arms and ammunition for the LTTE outfit. Sri Lanka had sought the assistance of Interpol to arrest him with regard to his international links and Interpol issued a red notice on him. Another hardcore LTTE terrorist who had been issued the Interpol red notice identified as Achudan Sivarasa-Pirundaban Achudan. He had been trained as a pilot at a flying school in France. He had travelled frequently to several European and African countries and was responsible in purchasing aircraft for the LTTE. He engaged in several business activities with the investments of the LTTE in foreign countries. He was also responsible in developing contacts with political figures and business magnates abroad in support of the LTTE. Apart from the two prime LTTE terrorists , the names of Narendran from Europe, Bhavindran and Rooban operating in South East Asian countries have also surfaced recently with regard to the LTTE’s procurement of ships and arms These suspects are also believed to be engaged in business activities involving the LTTE. The Sri Lankan authorities have also sought more information from intelligence agencies abroad on the three LTTE factions currently active in the USA, Norway and the United Kingdom. The Rudrakumaran faction is based in the United States while the Nediyavan faction is in Norway and the Global Tamil Forum of Fr.Emanuel in the UK. However, Germany has arrested five LTTE suspects and the Netherlands has rounded up eight LTTE so far in 2010.

The United Nations Panel of Experts appointed by the United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to advise him on Sri Lanka's accountability during the last stages of the war with Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) has met informally in New York on July 20, reports Colombo Page. This is confirmed by the UN. However, the four-month clock assigned to conclude the panel's investigations have not begun to count down yet. The panel was appointed in June 2010. The source adds that Sri Lanka has vehemently opposed the appointment of the panel saying that it is unnecessary and unwarranted as the Government has already set in motion a mechanism to probe the events took place during a two-year period prior to the conclusion of the war. Sri Lanka's External Affairs Minister Prof. G. L. Peiris strongly objecting to the panel has said that the panel members will not be allowed to enter the country for any investigations.

Relief Web reports on July 21 that the Sri Lankan Government has given the opportunities for ex-Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) child combatants, who had missed their opportunity to complete their education due to the war, to sit for the public examinations. Most of these children who have passed the school going ages are now between the ages of 16 – 22. They could not complete their education as they were conscripted to LTTE cadres during the heights of the war. Now the Sri Lanka Military with the support of educational authorities is preparing them for the forthcoming General Certificate of Education (GCE) Advanced Level (A/L) and the Ordinary Level examinations in August and December 2010 respectively.

Daily Mirror reports that some 100 Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) cadres who worked as drivers for the LTTE are now undergoing training to be recruited as drivers for the Northern Transport Board (NTB), an authoritative source said on July 23. The authorities had identified about 1,000 LTTE cadres, who had done various non military jobs for the organization as cooks, masons, drivers and computer operators. Some of these drivers were now attached to the Kondavil Bus Depot in the Jaffna District and would be soon appointed as Ceylon Transport Board (CTB) drivers. Some ex-LTTE combatants were being trained in agricultural activities at government farms in the Batticaloa district. Out of the 1,100 women cadres, 650 have already been employed at two leading garment factories in Colombo. Besides, 110 women cadres and 243 male cadres are now getting to ready to sit for the General Certificate of Education (GC E) Advanced Level Examination scheduled for August 2010.

The Island reported that the Police and Security Forces had so far identified 737 hardcore terrorists among the 11,686 LTTE cadre who surrendered and they were being held separately from others undergoing rehabilitation at different Government-run centres. The English Daily quoted Commissioner General of Rehabilitation Sudantha Ranasinghe as saying those involved in major terrorist attacks would have to be legally dealt with. Rehabilitation and Law Reforms Minister Dew Gunasekera told The Island that there were two categories of LTTE cadre in Government custody. He said: “There are about 600 to 700 men and women arrested over a period of time by successive governments. Among them are persons held in connection with high profile assassination bids targeting VIPs. The second category comprises those, who were taken in during the final phase of Eelam War IV.” Gunasekera said that they would make every effort to expedite cases of those held on terrorism charges. Acknowledging the difficult task ahead, he said Tamil political parties continued to take up the issue regularly in Parliament.

The Sri Lanka Government maintains that the Tamil Diaspora is now divided into two groups and the majority is supporting its efforts towards improvement of the living standards of Tamils in the northern and eastern provinces, reports The Hindu. Government spokesman and Media and Information Minister Keheliya Rambukwella told a news conference in Colombo on July 28 that the group representing the Tamil Diaspora, which was forced to fund the militant activities of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), was now willing to contribute to the welfare of the war-displaced civilians. The Minister was referring to an interview given to a local daily by Kumaran Pathmanathan alias KP, who succeeded V. Prabhakaran as LTTE chief until he was taken into custody by the Sri Lankan security agencies in August 2009. Earlier in an interview with The Island newspaper, KP answered questions on a wide range of issues, including his capture, breakdown of the various attempts to negotiate peace and a desperate bid to thwart annihilation of the LTTE's military leadership in May 2009. He was confident that a group of like-minded Tamils based in various parts of the world would support the initiative for the benefit of Sri Lankan Tamils, and said President Mahinda Rajapakse was genuine in his efforts at resolving differences among communities and helping to re-build the war devastated regions. "Within a year of the conclusion of the war, the majority of the people displaced by the conflict are back in their villages and ex-combatants of the LTTE are undergoing rehabilitation and the international community, too, is supportive of Sri Lanka's efforts. None of these would have been possible without the political leadership given by President Rajapakse," he told the paper.

The Sri Lankan Government has re-settled 85 per cent of the nearly 300,000 war displaced Tamil civilians in the Northern Province, according to Government spokesman and Media and Information Minister Keheliya Rambukwella, reports The Hindu. He told a news conference in Colombo that till date 2,67,393 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) had been resettled within a year at a rate of 700 IDPs per day. “Now only 35,333 IDPs remain and they too will be resettled by the end of year. We hope by the end of 2010 they will be no IDPs in the country,” said Rambukwella. President Mahinda Rajapaksa during his recent visit to India had told Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that the resettlement process would be completed before the end of the year. Nearly 300,000 civilians fled the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam [LTTE]-held area during the last few days of the war and they were all accommodated by the Government in temporary welfare centres. The Minister said according to United Nations norms the security of the people should be guaranteed and there was a legal issue in resettling people in an area where 1.5 million land mines were strewn. Rambukwella said that de-mining was a costly and laborious process. Besides help from outside including India, the Government has spent, so far, over Sri Lanka LKR 860 million on equipment used in the de-mining process. 95 per cent of the de-mining process is conducted by the Army and there is still 12 to 15 per cent of land mines to be cleared in the Kilinochchi area. “The de-mining programme in the former war affected region is progressing well although it is a very tedious process, as land has to be cleared inch by inch,” said Military Spokesperson Brigadier Ubaya Medawala. United Nations Development Programme Senior Programme Manager for Mine Action Wuria Karadaghy said mine clearance remained one of the most important aspects with regard to resettlement.
